For years now, Chloe Sevigny has reigned supreme as the ultimate downtown It girl, a title she holds in every sense of the word. Her career is a testament to her discerning taste, constantly choosing captivating roles, from portraying Kitty Menendez in “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story” to embodying the stylish C.Z. Guest in “The Swans.” This same adventurous spirit extends to her fashion choices, where she defies the usual Hollywood glitz and glamour. She’s a beacon of individuality, embracing unique, eclectic looks that are modern, untraditional, and undeniably cool.
Sevigny’s recent red carpet appearances, expertly styled by Haley Wollens, are a showcase of her distinct fashion prowess. Just recently, while promoting “Monsters” in Los Angeles, she graced the red carpet in a total look by Phoebe Philo, consisting of a sleek leather bomber jacket and a matching pleated mini skirt. This slouchy two-piece silhouette stands as a bold departure from the expected red carpet gown, proving that Sevigny embraces bold fashion statements. Her demure square-toe pumps perfectly complemented the edgy ensemble.
The week prior in New York, Sevigny turned heads in a plaid Vivienne Westwood suit, a delightfully quirky choice with its scalloped button closure. This ensemble exudes an avant-garde spirit, reminiscent of a more modern-day Cher Horowitz, but with a distinctly Sevigny touch. These daring looks are just a glimpse into the captivating outfits Sevigny has sported throughout this month, making appearances at New York Fashion Week and the Toronto International Film Festival. At a NYFW party held at Holiday Bar, she stepped out in a custom-made “I Love New York” ruched T-shirt dress by Dauan Jacari, a thematic and playful choice. Paired with a mini yellow Telfar bag and Ugg boots, it solidified her status as a trendsetter, unafraid to experiment and defy expectations. In Toronto, she continued to make bold fashion statements, donning a tulle bubble skirt from Renaissance Renaissance and a strapless white lace Balenciaga gown, proving that she’s not one to shy away from high fashion.
In a world obsessed with traditional glamour and fresh-off-the-runway looks, Sevigny marches to the beat of her own drum. Even with the assistance of a stylist, her personal style shines through in every outfit. This authenticity is what makes her the enduring cool girl of Hollywood and NYC. You’ll never find her succumbing to fashion trends, instead, she wears the clothes; the clothes don’t wear her. Sevigny’s style is a testament to individuality and personal expression, reminding us that true style is about finding what works for you and making it your own.
